... read that right. We were told to pay 400baht for the privelege which we didn't. Bit scared it was a bit yuky - and we felt the cobra had an unfair advantage...

Tori has her first hair wash of the trip. We're trying to change our flashpacking ways...

Tori masters the plug.

We survived the most insane tuktuk ride to the trainstation (sorry mam) but seriously I've never seen anything like it. We were in rush hour driving into oncoming traffic, weaving in and out of ...

After 1st night in the amazing tree lamphu house, we headed out to explore bangkok. managed to wangle a tuk tuk, driven by "Tevez", for 15Baht (bargain)!!! went to the standing buddha, its over 30ft tall, then onto the lucky buddha. It was very lucky indeed as normally tourists dont get in but because it was the queen's birthday we got to light candle and insence! the guy who looked after the temple was so nice and helpful - always ask ...

... myself for example with the help of Guy Delisle’s excellent graphic novel Burma Chronicles; another historical novel by Daniel Mason called Piano Tuner; as well as with the Sylvester Stallone document Rambo IV. Not forgetting the obvious Lonely Planet of course. Oh, and currently I’m reading George Orwell’s Burmese Days (already read 1984, which, according to some people, is also pretty close to the contemporary Burma).

Man þegar við Hildur sátum í strætó í Malasíu, teygði ég mig fram til að sjá hversu hratt við færum (þeir keyra allir eins og þeir séu og seinir eitthvert, og á spítti). Sá þá að allir mælarnir í mælaborðinu voru á núlli. Hver þarf bensín-, hraða- og snúningsmælir í þessu lífi?? Á næstu ljósum fór hann ekki af stað á grænu. Leit þá á bílstj ...

... relatively shy on sites, the only real stand out attraction was Wat Traimit. Its actually quite a daunting structure, almost gothic. Inside was a large golden Buddha, but some kind of cleaning work was in operation so we couldn't enter. We also noticed that a strange mist was coming from its sprinkler system. Was it deliberate, we wondered? As it gave the area a shroud of mystery.

China Town is definitely an assault on the senses ...

... trafficking initiatives, and documents cases for research. Sudarat has done great work in leading FACE. Sudarat was so welcoming and so knowledgeable about trafficking, especially because she has been involved in the movement early on. I can truly see her heart and passion in combatting anti-trafficking. 

After lunch was a meeting with Usa Lerdsrisunta, from the Foundation for Women. It started in 1984, as a small women's ...

... room I’ve ever been in, several forms, signatures and 1,900 baht later I was sorted.

Slight panic – got wind of a train strike. Not good news as supposed to be catching train to Chiang Mai. Got to station and lucky me – strike off and trains back to normal. Train leaves at 7.45 tonight, running overnight – arrive about 9 am the next day. Am in a second class bunk – should be an ...

The most fascinating sight was stopping off to watch how they herded hundreds off ducks into a truck by guiding them into a fenced area & then up a gangplank.







Stopped at a local Thai restaurant for a great lunch. The ...

When we landed at the airport and filled our claim for lost luggage we got a taxi for traveling to our first place of stay in South Bangkok. When you get outside the the airport everyone is calling out to you to use there services. ****** me off how I got scammed out of $700 Baht right away. I knew it was happening, but Kim will see everything on the bright side. She said ...
